Biography
Robert Jano was born on the Hopi reservation in Arizona, and he became a poacher of protected eagles on the shared Hopi-Navajo lands. In 2008, while hunting eagles at Yells Back Butte, he came across mortally wounded policeman Benny Kinsman, and he was arrested by officer Jim Chee, who suspected him of murdering Kinsman. He was defended by public defender Janet Pete, who defended him from the death-penalty-seeking prosecutor. Chee later discovered that Doctor Albert Woody was responsible for the murder, and that Jano was innocent, leading to Jano being acquitted.
